Missouri Unclaimed Money Finder

You can charge up to 20% as a Missouri unclaimed money finder.

Missouri is currently holding over $600 million in unclaimed money.

That means there is currently $120 million up for grabs!

There are certain rules that need to be followed in Missouri:

• No agreement to locate money for a fee is valid unless the agreement discloses the nature and value of the property, is in writing, and signed and acknowledged by the owner
• Any agreement to pay commission to recover money which has only been delivered to the treasurer within the past twelve months is unenforceable
• Any agreement to pay commission to recover money which has been held by the treasurer for more than twelve months but less than twenty-four months is limited to a 10% fee
• Any agreement to pay commission to recover money which has been held by the treasurer for more than twenty-four months but less than thirty-six months is limited to a 15% fee
• Any agreement to pay commission to recover money which as been held by the treasurer for more than thirty-six months is limited to a 20% fee
• Any person wishing to charge a fee to recover money on a claim must register with the State as a finder of unclaimed money

  As I mentioned at the top of the page, Missouri is currently holding more than $600 million in unclaimed money.
  
  Last year $30 million was returned by the State to it’s rightful owners. That sounds like a lot of money, but compared to all of the unclaimed money being held in Missouri, only 5% was returned.
  
  There are more than 3.5 million owners. Obviously the State cannot return all of the money being held on their own, despite their best efforts. They need help.
